HA HA! Yep, got the inner fenders installed, got the tranny topped off, and got it all cleaned and shined up for the car show!
We just got back home from the 22nd Annual Corn Festival & Car Show in Stanton, KY. GUESS WHAT!?!? Ole Copper got Top 50!! I'm stoked, and totally addicted to the car show scene now. Not that I wasn't, but this definately gets the juices pumping! There was a couple other 67-72's there (all of which won an award) a 70, and a 71. Yeah yeah, I took pics with our camera. Hope yall appreciate! Name: 100_3962.jpg

Pics of the 71 and 70 that were there. I liked how the 71 had a tach like mine that they mounted into the gauge cluster instead of strapped to the column like mine.

Truck looks great!!! Ya gonna keep the ol step bumper or what! Thanks for the pictures

slick copper · 08-07-2011, 10:55 PM

Thanks John! Nah, it's gonna be removed soon, wanting the sport chrome rear bumper like you got. Also to go will be the hitch, it's for the taking $50 plus shipping. Bumper is for sale too I'd take $30 for it plus shipping, but probably be better if local pickup on it. Of course all mounting hardware would be included. Much more to do, but felt good to be recognized.
On another note, put the other truck up for sale in an ad on here. We'll see.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-07-2011, 10:59 PM

Ya gonna buy all new or what? I think the sport bumper is alot sexier...
I'll keep an eye out for brackets/bumper at the junkyard if I ever get back there.

Ive gotta hitch that works with sport bumper, its not very strong just enough for small trailer or something

And how do you know my name!!!!

I guess i'll have to put my name on here as well raymond

VA72C10 · 08-07-2011, 11:34 PM

Cool Deal! Congrats on the award! Truck's looking good!!!

slick copper · 08-07-2011, 11:52 PM

I know ur name originally I think cause Rick blabbed it! No offense Rick! Yeah me too I think it'll look a heck of a lot better. Yeah if you found some brackets that's be awesome!

slick copper · 08-07-2011, 11:54 PM

Thanks VA72C10!

slick copper · 08-08-2011, 03:35 AM

Thanks 71 Sleeper! I think so too. Don't see them that often, except on general lee's! And they paint them black in between the spokes.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-10-2011, 10:19 AM

Thanks guys. Yeah found a thread in the electrical section with a guy having the same prob as me with backup lights on his 68. Nuetral safety switch should be the prob.

John says in that thread that a manual 3spd truck the wire should run outta the back of fuse box and to a switch on the tranny. Auto's are off the nuetral safety switch located at the base of the steering column somewhere against the firewall. I'm going to investigate of mine I'll take pics of what I find.

BTW got a phone now!!

oldblue1968chevy · 08-10-2011, 05:01 PM

Ive had my trans out there is NOT a wire going to the trans at all lol

slick copper · 08-24-2011, 05:04 AM

Well, got some progress done. Finally got my clear marker lights in and put on. Also been working on sanding the bubbling clearcoat and spraying some new on the bed rails. Recently celebrated my 27th b-day got some cash for truck parts. Currently in the middle of redoing my exhaust!
Got rid of the glass fuel filter...

a teaser of what's to come. Painting new exhaust with high temp rustoleum black (except for glasspack). Going to remove the manifold and redo it too, with all new gaskets and donut gasket. BTW started this thing up when I cut the old exhaust off at the down pipe and WOW!! This thing sounded like a cammed out big block!!

Make sure you wipe it down with something like mineral spirits to remove the rust preventative coating they put on the pipes and scuff it up with some sand paper to give the paint something to hold on to. It won't stick well to smooth steel.

67chevy1series · 08-25-2011, 09:35 PM

nice!

Cameron 1137 · 08-24-2011, 10:18 AM

Clear lenses look great, and she is going to sound great with glass packs. 6 cylinders sound GREAT with glaspacks!

Thanks! Yeah, I can't wait to hear it. Also have a HUGE chrome tip to finish it off! Trying to take my time and do it right. Painting it all with high temp paint, new gaskets, and going to take off the exhaust manifold and clean it up and paint. Will take longer, but it'll be sweet in the long run.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-25-2011, 10:01 AM

wow never heard glasspacks on a inline 6 lol

treveiger · 08-25-2011, 12:26 PM

^ they sound nice. I got a set of magnaflow 26inch packs that are 2 1/2 inches for my 307 I'm excited to see how it sounds

but I'm gona cut the exhaust like you did first. Make sure we get a good video
